Poetry

Negative Neil

Negativity

It seemed to follow him

in his every thought

In silent ways

Offensive ways

Pessimistic words

he spoke

That critised his family his friends

Acquaintances

People he had not yet met

His dog copped it

without doing anything

He loved sport but the teams

he supported were hopeless

He lived in suburb

that had little future

As were his future

employment prospects

Nothing he could think of

had any redeeming features

Except for……no

He would have to

it some more thought
